About the Item
This mid-century modern ceramic dish from Vallauris, France, is a refined example of 1960s French studio pottery, crafted in the stylised shape of a human hand.
Designed as a sculptural vide-poche or decorative catchall, it balances functional design with a distinctly artistic sensibility, typical of mid-century French ceramics.
The rich brown glaze, accented by a vivid amber-yellow pool in the palm, creates a compelling contrast of tones and finishes. This glazed ceramic hand dish embodies the experimental spirit of Vallauris artisans, known for their expressive forms and layered glazes during the postwar ceramic renaissance.
Ideal as a mid-century decor accent or entryway catchall, this hand-formed piece lends organic texture and subtle theatricality to any interior. It is signed “Vallauris” on the base, affirming its provenance, and measures approximately 16 cm deep, 10 cm wide, and 7 cm high.
In very good vintage condition with minor signs of age-appropriate wear. A sculptural yet practical piece for collectors of vintage French ceramics or lovers of decorative modernist pottery.
